Hi Magpie,

thanks for that info, bit of a crude way to alter the volume.

so the resistor is being cooked by the speakers for some reason might even be a design error, imo not a major issue as if it finally burns out all that will happen is the setting bleeps will be quieter.

the op could measure it as although stressed it possibly still works, i'd expect it to be around 50 ohm's but it's not to critical as long as it is the same or higher (to reduce current).

thanks magpye knew i was on the right track but couldnt find the manual since the move

sophie i will confirm my original advise

you may be able to change the component will you be able to flash the panel after

you say the component is burned out - is it cut first - old panels with small batteries overheat and cover the pcb in sticky black soot

once a panel starts to go you are chasing youre tail forever - change it and get all the new functions - its worth it

change the external sounder there is little deterant in an old rusty box with a new battery in it

dont take the risks its not worth it

ps my insurance prevents changing at component level - think-

ok everyone,

this has done it's work so being closed - Arfur
